334: Chapter 191: Subdue Evil Shard, Jiuli Commanding General (3/3) 334: Chapter 191: Subdue Evil Shard, Jiuli Commanding General (3/3) Subdue Evil observed again and finally confird, “It seems…
to be resonating with the power of the Frost Calamity, gradually awakening?!”
“Frost Calamity?” An Jing was sowhat puzzled, and Subdue Evil said in a deep voice, “An Jing, stop, and seriously sense the Spirit Qi of the Embracing the Void realm!”
Although An Jing didn’t quite understand, since Subdue Evil was so serious, he did as instructed.
The young man halted and carefully sensed the surrounding world.
Then, the first thing An Jing felt was the intensely piercing and thick frost Spirit Qi, and the Demonic Qi that was two to three tis denser than that of the Northwestern Kanming!
“How can it be so dense?!”
An Jing’s eyes opened wide in astonishnt, equally shocked as Subdue Evil, “Could it be that the Northern Border has always been like this?”
Although An Jing was born in the Northern Border and raised in Hanhai, he hadn’t begun his cultivation at that ti, unable to sense Spirit Qi or Demonic Qi…
But now that he’s suppressing the purification brought by his Heavenly Mandate, he imdiately realizes that the density of Demonic Qi across the Northern Border far exceeds that of the Northwest!
And these Demonic Qi…
An Jing raised his head, looking towards the endless mountains and ice fields of the North.
All of them were coming from the North, along the direction of the Frost Calamity.
To the naked eye, the fierce wind howled, and the white snow engulfed the sky.
But through Spiritual Vision, it was a vast expanse of dark blue Demonic Qi that blew from the North, swirling the heavens and the earth.
Why would such terrifying Demonic Qi be here?
“This Demonic Qi…
It’s almost to the point where the Spirit Qi can’t be seen clearly!”
An Jing was more than just surprised; he was utterly astounded.
Originally, when he observed the Demonic Qi of Embracing the Void in the Western Mountain, he was already shocked once, but now the Demonic Qi of the Northern Border was several tis denser than that of the Western Mountain!
“It’s not just that!”
Subdue Evil carefully sensed for a mont and discovered so clues, “This Demonic Qi…
is too normal.”
“This Demonic Qi is different from that of the Embracing the Void realm, instead it resembles that of the Tianyuan Realm, the Demonic Qi I am most familiar with!”
In the center of An Jing’s brow, a sword print like a pupil erected, and with the vision of the Sword Spirit, he saw the complicated Demonic Qi situation in the Northern Border.
The local Demonic Qi of Embracing the Void was like inert gas, existing but hardly ever reacting with any living beings, only the most intense karmic entanglents and the manifestation of Fate Patterns could convert them into beneficial Spirit Qi.
However, the newly born, or rather, the ancient revived Frost Calamity Demonic Qi, was like so kind of virulent acid, wanting to react fiercely with everything, breeding so detestable and inexplicable beings.
But because the amount of inert Demonic Qi in Embracing the Void was enormous, these inert gases blocked the reaction of volatile Demonic Qi and moreover, they were converting the volatile Demonic Qi into inert Demon Qi at a rate visible to An Jing’s naked eye.
This was also why the density of Demonic Qi in the Northern Border far exceeded that of the Western Mountain, and ordinary life was not too greatly affected, because the Demonic Qi that could really cause people to be possessed, catalyze Demon Monsters and Monstrous Evils, had been completely suppressed by the Embracing the Void Demonic Qi.
However, the influence of the Frost Calamity was ultimately still there.
Looking at the current situation, even with the degradation of Embracing the Void Demonic Qi, the entire Dust Li and the Northern Border’s rate of Demon Monsters and Monstrous Evils, as well as Martial Artists becoming possessed, would be several tis or even dozens of tis higher than before.
“No wonder your fragnt has woken up!”
At this mont, An Jing closed his eyes, and he could see those points of light they had seen when he and Subdue Evil first went to the Tianyuan Realm.
In the darkness, the hazy points of light flickered.
Three were in extrely remote places, each in different worlds.
One shone with a steady brilliance, which was the coordinate fragnt of the Tianyuan Realm.
Another, once dim, had now begun to flicker bit by bit, like a warning light lacking power, seemingly wanting to warn sothing, yet feeble.
This flickering point of light was the fragnt of Subdue Evil located in the Northern Border.
It had been dormant, but the high concentration of volatile Demonic Qi brought by the Frost Calamity stimulated it to awaken.
“Indeed very close…”
An Jing opened his eyes and looked in the southeastern direction, “It’s over there…
If I rember correctly, that direction is Broken Blade Mountain?”
“My fragnt’s awakening will surely cause phenona!”
And Subdue Evil’s Sword Spirit was sowhat anxious, “Right now, it may only be like Hanging Fate Manor, where Sword Intent rges into the surrounding nature, suppressing Demonic Qi, and fostering Spiritual Objects like the Essence of Gold and Iron…
But further on, it could lead to the transformation of heaven and earth phenona, and might even trigger the Spirit chanism of heaven and earth in the form of a Great Formation, to restore strength.”
“By then, even a fool would know that Divine Objects have erged nearby!”
“We indeed have to make a trip there.”
An Jing nodded slightly, deep in thought, and said, “Broken Blade Mountain, huh…
that’s quite a coincidence.”
Linjiang, Beirui, Broken Blade Mountain—the place where An Jing and his mother Shen Mubai had agreed to et again.
If the Subdue Evil fragnt was truly nearby, then he could indeed recover it before or after finding his mother.
Now, An Jing’s goals were crystal clear.
The most urgent thing was to find his mother and confirm her safety.
Equally important was to find the fragnts of Subdue Evil.
A slightly longer-term goal was to take his master’s ‘Mysterious Swordsman’s Sword Fragnt’ back to Bright Mirror Sect and hand it over to Cheng Guang Ancient Ancestor.
Having sorted out his thoughts and priorities, An Jing suddenly felt his upcoming actions becoming clear.
“What are you going to do next?” Sword Spirit asked.
Subdue Evil said, “We have now moved far away from the Earth Vein where we descended, and Da Chen can’t trace us…
Shall we organize our gains first?”
The Sword Spirit’s tone was full of eagerness: “Can I take a look at that Divine Sword Fragnt your master gave you?
I can appraise other swords, and I’ll definitely decipher all the remaining Sword Intent for you!”
“After all these years, I’m really curious to see how Divine Weapons are forged and consecrated in this era!”
“Of course I will give it to you, but not right now,” An Jing nodded slightly.
“First, I’ll go to the Tianyuan Realm to treat my injuries, and then I’ll take stock of what I’ve gained.”
“The Demon Material inner armor is almost complete, and the Black Market’s grand opening is approaching.
The things I possess grow more and more nurous and precious by the day, and without a Great Void Magical Instrunt, I simply can’t carry so much.”
“Most importantly…”
An Jing coughed and raised his head to look towards the endless Northern Border tundra, invisible in any direction, and said helplessly, “I need to purchase a convenient personal transportation tool.”
“Even disregarding my current injuries, even if I were unhard, I couldn’t be foolish enough to stimulate my Essence Qi to travel tens of thousands of miles.”
“That makes sense.” Subdue Evil held back its own curiosity and, summoned out of the Divine Sea by An Jing, opened the gateway to the Tianyuan Realm.
…
At the sa ti, in Embracing the Void, at Kanming City.
Today’s Kanming City, except for the area around An Jing Manor which had been ravaged by the battle between An Jing and the Grandmasters, was unexpectedly well-preserved—the entire city was deserted, without even an insect in sight.
But the absence of insects didn’t an there were no Ghosts.
As the shadows twisted, a black figure resembling the Xuanyi Ghost Shadow disguised as the Western Patrol Envoy erged from the Netherworld.
However, his deanor was far different from that of the Western Patrol Envoy.
Even as a re shadow, he exuded the authority of a highborn, evidently of noble lineage.
[Interesting, the Kanming Bell was actually mobilized…]
He opened his eyes, and his golden pupils swept across the entire city: [And it wasn’t by Emperor’s Blood’s command, but the Kanming Bell’s own volition?]
[I thought it had sothing to do with my niece, but it seems that’s just a coincidence.]
As soon as the Ghost Shadow arrived in Kanming City, the Kanming Bell issued a faint ring, seemingly in salute, and the figure nodded slightly, smiling towards the direction of the Earth Vein: [Good child…
why would you help that An Jing?]
The Kanming Bell conveyed a few brief snippets of information, causing the Ghost Shadow to ponder: [Oh?
He can actually enable you to advance?
No wonder you helped him…]
[Rest assured, you are destined for the Divine Mandate, I won’t bla you.
On the contrary, I’ll bring you an opportunity…
But first, open up the permissions, I want to take a closer look.]
Once the Kanming Bell granted access to the Earth Vein Great Formation’s permissions, the Ghost Shadow closed his eyes and sensed carefully, his expression becoming even more amazed: [To have such powerful Sword Intent?]
His golden eyes nearly solidified: [This Sword Intent is so strong that it can even compare to Uncle Yueche’s ‘Heavenly Sword Slashing the Dragon’s Feet’…]
The Ghost Shadow didn’t understand swords, just instinctively discerned, but even so, he could feel the strength of that sliver of Sword Intent remaining in the Great Formation: [Interesting, which Sword Immortal’s Divine Mandate is it?
‘Taibai Tianhao Star Lord’?
‘Son of the White Emperor’?]
[No, that’s wrong, he also controls Blood Fiend, and the first awakened Divine Mandate has always been powerful…]
His thoughts derailed by the overly strong Sword Intent, the Ghost Shadow frowned deeply: [Blood Fiend weapons, born into the Martial Family, hailing from Dust Li of the Northern Border, information indicates he excels in many weapons, not just devoted to the sword…]
[Could it be?!]
The Ghost Shadow’s eyes widened, coming to a logical conclusion: [This An Jing’s Divine Mandate, could it be the Emperor’s?
[Is he the ‘Jiuli Commanding General’?]
